Programming a 3-button remote control

When programming a single or 2-button remote control to a 3-button remote control it is very important to set dip switch #1 to the correct position. The dip switch in the single or 2-button remote control MUST correspond to the buttons on the 3-button remote control as shown.

Example: If you are programming a single-button remote control to the middle button on the 3-button remote control, dip switch #1 in the single-button remote control MUST be set to "0" in order for both buttons to work.

When the dip switches have been set press the remote control button to activate your product.

WARNING

Install the control station and receiver where the door is visible, but away from the door and its hardware. When a receiver is used to activate a commercial door opener, a reversing edge MUST be installed on the bottom of the door. Failure to install a reversing edge under these circumstances may result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH to persons trapped beneath the door.

Model 33LM 3-button remote controls can also be used with a 423LM 3-channel receiver and a 3-button door control to activate a commercial door operator in OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP mode.

1 Use a screwdriver to pry open the receiver cover.
2 Verify that the slide switch on receiver is set to the N.C. position (other wise the commercial door operator will not operate).
3 Press and release the Smart/Learn button labeled "A" on the receiver. The adjacent LED will flash.
4 Within 30 seconds press and release the red button on the remote control. The red button is now programmed for CLOSE mode.

NOTE: If the remote control button is not pressed within 30 seconds, the LED next to the selected Smart/Learn button will turn OFF. In that case, press the Smart/Learn button again to repeat programming.

Repeat the steps 3-4 above with the yellow button on the remote control and the receiver Smart/Learn button "B" to program the CLOSE mode; and again with the green button on the remote control and the receiver Smart/Learn button "C" to program the OPEN mode.

5 Replace the receiver cover.
